Notes
- Adjust amount of buttermilk/milk you add depending on how thick you want your dressing. To make a dip, omit some milk for desired thickness, you can add all liquid or more for salad dressing.
- I substitute some of the mayonnaise in the traditional recipe with plain Greek yogurt for a tangy addition. You can replace the ¼ cup greek yogurt with more mayo if you'd like.
- This BBQ ranch dressing is great as a salad dressing, marinade, or dip for fries or other foods.
